Golf predickament....which wood?

Question

..okay...it`s quite a long hole and the rough`s a bit overgrown.....bit bushy in fact....

Answer 1

You imply you are in the rough, a bad case of rough at that. First rule is get out. Never make a low percentage shot after a bad shot. So use a lofted iron - even a wedge - take a more upright swing to reduce the distance the club has to plow through the grass to reach the ball, and aim OUT.

With that rough facing you on the tee, or in another such situation, use a three wood from the tee for more direction control. It's shorter and gives less side spin due to the additional loft of the club face.

Go get 'em!

Answer 2

I would say the nine incher in your pants.

Answer 3

5/7 wood i reckon!!!

Answer 4

Why are you in the rough? If you can't find the fairway go with your 3-wood from that spot. It gives you the best chance at your goal which is to hit the ball as close to the green as possible.

Answer 5

I would say the longest, hardest wood with the greatest circumference would be guaranteed to get a result.  So I've heard.

Answer 6

Bubba, use your scythe.

Why don't you and lil' farm girl hook up and get it done with? It's a perfect match.

Answer 7
